Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups roasted cashews
  • 1 cup medjool dates (pitted)
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons coconut or almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashion oats
  • 1 cup cooked plain quinoa
  • 2 tablespoons ground walnuts or almonds
  • 6-8 ounces dark chocolate (chopped into chunks (about 1 1/2 cups))

Method
 

  1. Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a food processor, combine cashews and dates. Process until a thick paste forms. Add coconut oil, milk, vanilla, and salt. Process until smooth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine oats, cooked quinoa, and ground nuts.
  4. Pour the cashew paste into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix until evenly combined. Let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in dark chocolate chunks.
  5. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Melt an additional 2 ounces of dark chocolate and drizzle over the bars. Sprinkle with sea salt. Chill for at least 1 hour until firm. Cut into bars.

Notes

- For an extra rich chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate with at least 70% cacao.
- Ensure your cashews and dates are soft enough to form a smooth paste in the food processor.
- For a firmer texture, chill the bars for longer than 1 hour.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for best results.
